English - Halloween Haunted House For Sale - Adverts A series of activities on the theme of advertising a haunted house. Included are several templates, animated resources, peer assessment sheets, teacher notes, discussion prompts, word mats. This lesson will make a great end of term activity, and will create some attractive display work, as well as develop skills in persuasive writing. Activity 1 - Give the students access to the adverts, either printed out or displayed on the board. Students should work to identify the features of the advert using the instructions on the slide. This could be done as independent, paired or group work. A carousel activity would suit this task, especially if other tasks are built into the carousel activity station. Each advert can then be displayed to possibly annotate on the screen / aid discussion. Activity 2 - Work through the discussion prompts. Again, this could be done as independent, paired or group work and could be built into a carousel activity station. There is a printable prompt sheet for students to write on if appropriate. Activity 3 - Students should use a dictionary / discussion to build up a bank of words. These can be added to a printable word mat. Again, this could be done as independent, paired or group work and could be built into a carousel activity station. There is the further option to built up a bank of starters & connectives, a pre-populated list has also been planned for weaker groups. Word mat is displayed to aid discussion / assess understanding. Activity 4 - Students write up their own adverts using the templates provided and the work prior. This is suited to independent work, but could be done in pairs or groups. If previous activities have been completed as a carousel, this could be where students break away to work independently. Several templates have been provided, including one with blank ‘photos’ for the students who like to draw. Activity 5 - This is the main assessment opportunity. A sheet has been provided, however assessment could be done in many different ways and built in to match school / class policy or routine. www.acornteachingresources.com
